Southeast Michigan Housing Market Increases Continue
/in SE Michigan /by Tracy WillisLow inventory and increased demand caused the upswing of the 2021 Southeast Michigan housing market. Some areas in the city of Detroit saw the biggest increase in sale prices. One area’s prices jumped an incredible 68%. Detroit had more sales than anywhere in the region, with 2021 marking an 11.1% increase over 2020 and a median value increase of 33.6%. One broker’s theory is that the increase in sales in the city comes from landlords who decided they wanted to get out when the Duggan administration enforced certificates of compliance in order to be eligible for full distributions of coronavirus relief funds.
